Meet my version of the Kimchijeon (김치전), a popular Korean-style savory pancake made with kimchi. It’s salty, spicy, and at the same time a little crisp and chewy. It makes a great savory snack, breakfast, lunch, or light dinner.
For years, we have been making our own kimchi. It is such a great addition to lunch salads or Asian-style dinner or lunch soups and stews. Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish of spiced, salted, and fermented napa cabbage. Next to the ginger, garlic, and chili paste mix I also add grated carrots and spring onions.
Today, I am still using the same recipe I shared back in 2018. You can find my post here: WILD FERMENTATIONS | HOMEMADE KIMCHI - A KOREAN PROBIOTIC WONDER
KOREAN-STYLE KIMCHI PANCAKES aka KIMCHIJEON (VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE)
The other day I saw a recipe for kimchi pancakes passing by that inspired me to try and make my own version that suits our dietary needs. I must say, they came out great and we will definitely make them again!
Below I will share the basic recipe for the kimchi pancake which can be topped/filled with anything savory you can think of.
This time we filled our pancake with rocket lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes, and the beetroot sauerkraut I started making not so long ago. Find the recipe HERE.
But, this is only the beginning. I already have plenty of other ideas the fill these pancakes with. I am thinking of a kale, garlic, and mushroom mix. Or it would go well with leftover vegan chili as well.
Options, options, options! This was definitely not the last time we made these savory pancakes.
INGREDIENTS (MAKES 2 PANCAKES)
- 80g besan or chickpea flour
- 1 Tbsp kimchi brine
- 80 ml water
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
- 80g kimchi
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, brine, water, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Add the kimchi and mix again.
Heat a non-sticking pan with cooking oil. When hot, turn to medium and add half of the batter. flatten them out a bit from the top. Once one side is slightly brown then flip. Cook both sides until lightly brown. Timing on cooking will depend on the size and thickness of your pancake.
Place pancake on a plate and top half with whatever you feel like. Fold and enjoy!
FYI: I topped mine with rocket lettuce, tomatoes, red cabbage, and beetroot sauerkraut.
WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY AND HEALTHY DAY ღ ღ ღ

Greetings @amy-goodrich looks delicious, I imagine a great flavor and texture with the chickpea.
Happy start of the week.
Thank you. A flavor bomb indeed. Wishing you a beautiful week
You made it really good. Seemed like expensive food that was of the best quality. I like kimchi but in my country it doesn't taste good. Looks like I'll try your recipe. Thank you chef!
Thanks. I was never really a kimchi fan either until I started making my own. Super easy and you can make it as spicy as you like. Enjoy the rest of the week
I think I will try something like this again. The last time I made a chickpea flour pan cake it stuck to my non stick pan and I threw it out in a small rage haha. Kimchi would be delish but I have to buy it for now. I don't have the patience.
Looks beautiful as usual!
Haha really? I must admit that you have to be patient with the pancake too 😂 once it's nicely browned it shouldn't stick to a non stick pan. Have a beautiful day and good luck with the next pancake adventure

My mouth is watering. I really love kimchi and this snack looks amazing. I just wish I could try it.
Thank you! You know where to find us! We always have the ingredients at hand. I hope we can see you all soon. It's been ages. Once we get some days off we might come visit. It looks very beautiful up there. Big hug for the whole family
Your pancake looks so so delicious! 🥲 the big issue for me here that I cannot find any Korean ingredients to make Kimchi in this small town I live. I saved your recipe by reblogging this post. Thank you for sharing your great recipe!
Thank you so much. Apart from finding a good chili powder, most ingredients aren't really Korean. If you can't find nappa cabbage, I am sure the kimchi will turn out great with green cabbage too. Have a beautiful day and thank you for stopping by.
@amy-goodrich! Pancake with kimchi! That is one of the best ideas. I love kimchi. Eat it every day. Make it almost as often. But this? It is something else. Your pancake is truly a feast for the palate and the eyes. What an amazing recipe
Thank you. We re addicted to them now lol. Weekend savory breakfast. This reminds me buy nappa cabbage today. We are running low on kimchi. Have a beautiful week.
And you!
Too good! Love kimchi..
Thank you 🧡
